The resilience of the human spirit amazes me. Thanks for this introduction to this writer.

Good to have a sense of his other works. If Wiesel was known only as a writer, most people would be forgiven for thinking he'd be a one hit wonder with Night.

Very true. He wrote 57 books -- more than anyone should ever write, I suppose.

Well it's nice and small compared to the around 500 books written by Isaac Asimov. (Though that list may well include repetitive anthologies and repeated short story collections) I tip my hat to the guy who explores a writer's bibliography as I do and who takes on Asimov, because it won't be me. :P
